Puck Daddy - NHL

Ah, the pressure of being a hockey celebrity super-couple. Such competition. Ovechkin could be preparing to create a fetus wearing a Red Army jersey. Phuthbert held the paparazzi hostage during the playoffs with their scantily-clad beach fun. But Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie of the New York Islanders? They're having trouble making the list of bold-faced names at the NBA Finals.

Of course, there's a rather easy way for Duffrie to reclaim their spot as hockey's preeminent power couple: Leaking a sex tape on the Internet. But absent that, how about a celebrity wedding?

Unfortunately for Comrie, his future with the former Lizzie McGuire depends less on the ridiculously expensive automotive gifts she receives than it does on tarot cards, magic crystals and the rest of that astrological hooey the poor girl evidently buys into. From Star Magazine, via Gossip Girls:

Rumor has it that "ever since she was paired with celebrity psychic Tracy Williams for a 2005 teen magazine story, the 20 year old has visited several practitioners in the L.A."

"She has a very curious mind and is interested in what lays ahead," an insider told Star. "She never takes it too seriously, but she does mull over what the psychics say." The report goes on to tell that Miss Duff has been "asking the seers if her pro hockey player beau, Mike Comrie, is the real deal and wants to know if he is really 'The One'!"

"She's really into Mike and would like to get married and start a family, so she's looking for a second opinion about whether he'd be a good fit for her in the long run," the insider tells.

"A second opinion?" Well, that bodes well. "Honey, where do you want to eat tonight?" "Well, I'm in the mood for sushi, but let me call the Psychic Friends Hotline just to make sure..."

As long as she's dropping the quarter in the Zoltar Machine, maybe Hilary can ask if Ted Nolan can possibly get a contact extension with an offense as anemic as Haylie Duff's career. But hey, good job on the Doug Weight thing. Just wish the Islanders had signed that 29-year-old Doug Weight that ESPN seems so excited about instead of the 37-year-old one.

    Why would Hilary need to consult Tarot Cards, Zoltar, Magic 8-ball, Ouija Board, etc to know the future? She should just ask a Red Wings fan. After all, there's no shortage of psychics amongst them telling everyone else the future with ironclad certainty.

    That Doug Weight would definitely be worth getting excited about: eight years ago, he scored 90 points in a contract year, his second-highest career total (Best was 104 in 1995-96).

    Puck daddy, what if anything can we glean from hockey players like Mark Messier at least play-thing-ing with Madonna while as age peers? And how far removed is the Material Girl's mystic yoga from Scientology?

    @ John K --
    Perhaps there is, indeed, a trend of lugnut-brained players getting into relationships with famous women and their kooky spiritual sides. I fully expect Sidney Crosby to start a longterm relationship with Shirley MacLaine any moment now.

    Jim:
    Nope, Never said it did or didn't. Wasn't baiting. Just making a smartassed comment based on observations of the blog comments over the last 2 weeks. But if it will make you feel less opressed, I'll point out that Pens fans have their share of soothsayers as well, most of which seem determined to plan parade routes before actual games are played. Me, considering I've never won Powerball, I'm pretty sure I lack psychic ability and therefor and more willing to simply watch the games to find out the outcome.
    Being the smartass that I am, I'm applaud you for not taking my "bait." Though, there appears to be a few nibbles on it, seeing as you still replied.

    Kbbl-So by replying, and saying that I'm not taking the bait, I'm actually taking the bait. Crap, it's like "when did you stop beating your wife" Well from one smartass to another, I appluad your tactics.
    Just getting a tad tired of having the Wings blamed for everything from the price of gas, to global warming.
    Also the Sidney Crosby-MacLaine relationship, dear God, I hope it's platonic.

    Is Miss Cleo still on the market? She must be as old as Doug Weight, they would make a good pair. I will use my psychic abiliites now......... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.............. I predict the Isles will finish dead last and somehow screw up getting Tavares with the first pick at next summers draft. And I am an Islander fan (I am also used to mediocrity on the Island.)

    Jim:
    I see it more as telling someone, "I'm not going to diginfy that with a response." It's a direct contradiction. Saying it is still a response. If you were honestly not going to dignify it, you'd just walk away. It's basically a way to get the last word, a.k.a. "win" the conversation.
    I never said anything about blaming the Red Wings for anything in any post that I can readily recall. If I blame the Wings for anything, it's for being the superior team this year through shrewd drafting, good team chemistry, and general execution of play. I guess I can "blame" them for ending my team's season shy of it's goal, but that's simply acknowledging facts. They won, my team lost. New season, blank slate, unknown future.
    Again, it was never intended as baiting. It was an offhanded comment based on observations made on the blogs and rumors comments section, especially in the last week. Between the two fanbases' camps, there are apparently many psychics in Western PA and Michigan, based on what I read here every day.
    I'm not above taking a jab when the opportunity presents itself. It was a poke at the fans, not at the team. I'm also more than willing to take pokes at my own "nation." I calls them as I sees them. Smartass is as smartass does.

    KBBL, James M. I know the Mike Comrie-Hillary Duff blog is a bit on the soft side, but usually you both have much better discussions to post even if James M is a Wings fan...Boo! Oh well, be boring if there weren't some banter out there. Hope Duff's Psychic gives her the right advice, I'm on pins and needles. At least Duff is a Hockey fan, (I would assume) I've give her kudos there.
    Best response to anyone (aside from Duff's soothsayers of course) telling you who will be winning the '09 Cup or the 2010,11,12...blah blah blah Cup is to quote the standard line from your Mutual Fund company;
    "Past Performance Does Not Guarantee Future Results"
